"AURORA, IL — A man suspected of stabbing to death a 50-year-old North Aurora woman jumped from his third-floor window about 9 p.m. Monday and died Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.
"Moments after the man jumped from his home on the 300 block of South Lincolnway Street, North Aurora police discovered the body of Tomi Vandiver `unresponsive and cold to the touch,` according to a news release issued Tuesday afternoon.
"Vandiver, also a resident of the building on the 300 block of South Lincolnway Street, was pronounced dead at the scene, the apparent victim of a stabbing, authorities said.
"The Kane County coroner’s office will be to conducting an autopsy.
"The man who jumped has been identified as 58-year-old North Aurora resident, but his name has not yet been released. Police said he is considered the suspect in Vandiver’s death.
